From WRAL:
Same-sex marriage opt out now law after veto override
Raleigh, N.C. — With no warning and no debate allowed, the House voted Thursday morning to override Gov. Pat McCrory's veto of Senate Bill 2, allowing magistrates and county register of deeds employees to opt out of performing marriages for religious reasons.
The veto override has been on the House calendar for more than a week, but House Republican leaders did not have the needed votes – three-fifths of the members present must approve an override for it to take effect – until Thursday.
With 110 members present and voting, the override required 66 votes. The final vote was 69-41.
